30 Hilarious Posts Of People Trying To Grow Their Own Food And Failing (New Pics)
Interview With Expert
In theory, growing your own fruits and vegetables is a smart way to live. You’re fully aware of where your food is coming from, and you can rest easy knowing that what you eat doesn’t contain pesticides and chemicals.
However, the process itself involves many moving parts. If you’re not a seasoned grower, you’re more likely to commit missteps that can lead to unflattering results (to say the least). As you’ll see in this list, it is much more common than you think.
This series of photos comes from a seemingly endless pile from the r/MightyHarvest subreddit. And they only get funnier as you scroll through.
Bored Panda also spoke to horticultural consultant and urban farming expert Martyna Krol, who shared some helpful insights.

Corn On The Cob Anyone?
AnkleByter 2 years ago
That's corn on the nub. If you grow enough corn, or just don't take the greatest care of your wild corn that's growing where it shouldn't be (eh hem, like us, sometimes) you'll end up with all kinds of weird things.

This makes me appreciate the few veggies I managed to grow. Not massive, but they were at least big enough to eat.

Can you imagine being a farmer in ye olden days and having to make a tribute to the gods with these? You’d either get smited or shrunk to the size of a pixie yourself! (I do love miniature harvests, though, very adorable)
